[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I've been compiling diffutils on risc-v, but the testsuite fails in
new-file. I attached the complete log, but it appears that the option
parser doesn't understand '-'

the relevant lines from the log are:

  + returns_ 2 diff --unidirectional-new-file a -
  /build/diffutils/src/diffutils-3.6/tests/../src/diff: extra operand '-'
  /build/diffutils/src/diffutils-3.6/tests/../src/diff: Try '/build/diffutils/src/diffutils-3.6/tests/../src/diff --help' for more information.

curiously, the stdin test passes.

Any idea what could be going wrong?

Best,
Andreas

Hi,

sorry, I tracked it down to a bug in qemu-static usermode emulation,
that screws with how arguments are passed to the client application.

so it's a non-issue for diffutils.

Thanks,
Andreas
